I ordered the spectra S2 based on the suggestion of the healthy start rep at my dr office. She said it was considered the best out there right now out of my choices. I'm a FTM (first time mom) so went with the suggestion

I have the Spectra S2, it was consistently the top recommendation both online and amongst friends and because it’s a closed system it was ok for me to buy secondhand. It’s the only pump other than the hospital one that I’ve ever been able to get any milk with so I love it.

I hated my ameda, my husband ended up getting me the medela pisa. I loved it, I still have it 5 years later and used it at work for my 19 month old. I got a spectra s2 with my 19 month old through insurance, I loved it also. It’s in great shape, so I’ll keep that one for home and ordered another medela from my insurance for the new baby.

I had a medela pump in style last go around and it worked but was not my favorite. I went through a lot of reviews, talked to a lot of people about it and decided to go with the spectra s2 this go around. I haven’t got to use it yet so I can’t say from experience but I am excited to try it out. I bought the attachment pieces as well so I can pump directly into bags as well without having to transfer from the bottles to a bag.

I had a medela pump in style last go around and it worked but was not my favorite. I went through a lot of reviews, talked to a lot of people about it and decided to go with the spectra s2 this go around. I haven’t got to use it yet so I can’t say from experience but I am excited to try it out. I bought the attachment pieces as well so I can pump directly into bags as well without having to transfer from the bottles to a bag.

I don't know which one PP (previous poster) is referring to but I am getting the Kiinde Twist system. You pump straight into the bags which can then be tossed into the freezer, thawed, and snapped directly into their bottles. The only thing you have to wash are the adaptors and the nipples (plus the flanges and valves for the pump itself of course).

Here's the link to their starter kit. But if you skip the storage rack, you can get just the adaptor set, bottles, brushes, and bags for a bit cheaper. The adaptors can also be used to attach nipples from other bottle brands onto their bottles.
